Education 

Columbia University, New York, Masters, Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design

This degree emphasizes an experimental approach to research and architectural design rigorously grounded in multiple, complex realities. Specifically, the program seeks to address the challenges and possibilities of global urbanization by exploring the city in all its forms and to engage in a complex definition of architecture, from the questioning of the program to the formulation of high-tech design strategies.
